ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë

A recruitment video highlighting the breadth of programming available at ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë has won a silver award in the Best Use of Video/Film category at the Canadian Council for Advancement in Education’s annual Prix d’Excellence, which recognizes outstanding work in marketing at post-secondary institutions across the country.

features an original song, with lyrics by ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë Director of Marketing and Creative Services Stephen Brander and music by ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë alumni Alex Madsen, that lists the many programs available at ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë. The one-minute TikTok-style video stars ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë’s Marketing and Brand Coordinator Kaisa Valente as she dons the many different work wardrobes the College’s graduates wear on the job – everything from a mechanic’s coveralls to a health professional’s scrubs to a chef’s whites.

“Initially, the video was developed as part of our recruitment process, to be shown to potential students,” said Brander. “We wanted to create a video that spoke to the audience, while delivering the message that ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë has a wide range of programs, with something for everyone.”

The video was conceived and developed by ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë’s in-house Marketing and Creative Services team. Madsen, who had previously penned the song about his experience as a mature learner at ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë, was called upon to lend his voice to Brander’s lyrics.

“The Prix d’Excellence Awards recognize the best of the best in post-secondary marketing, and ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë stands up really well against the competition,” said Heather Allaby, ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë’s Vice President, Engagement and Experience. “The creativity of the concept and the quality of the production provide a visual connection between ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë programming and the many industries we support with trained graduates.”
